Hi...just wanted to know do you ever get back to feeling like your relaxed calm limber healthy self again after chemo?

I am nine weeks post Taxol and I know I'm trying to lose the 20 extra lbs. I gained during the whole thing...plus getting the hair back. But I feel old, tense and stiff. Not my old pre chemo days. Even after three surgeries before the chemo...after I healed I felt my old youthful self. I was told I would be as healthy after the 12 Taxols as I was before it. I have wrinkles where I didn't before. I just don't feel youthful anymore. I'm not sure this was worth it.

    I wonder the same thing. I was starting to feel sluggish about a year before I was diagnosed, but this chemo has really changed my body. I still have 8 taxol left and under a year of herceptin and wonder when my body will be willing to work with me.
